I was standin' by the window on a cold, cold cloudy dayWhen I saw that hearse come rollin'For to carry my mother awayWill that circle be unbrokenBy and by, Lord, by and byThere's a better home a-waitin'In the sky, Lord, in the sky

I said, mister undertaker, undertaker please go slow'Cause the woman that you're takin'Oh, well I hate, I hates to see her goWill that circle be unbrokenIn the sky, Lord, in the skyThere's a better home a-waitin'In the sky, Lord, in the sky
